New Chessex Brush Sets (2/2)
Picked these up at the Chessex booth at Spiel this year. Apparently they'll come to stores in 2026.

These have all been out of print for a while, so it took a few years to find them all, but thanks to a lovely fellow collector, the collection is now complete and it makes me really happy! #dice #out-of-print #polyhedrals

New Chessex Lab dice unexpectedly arrived early! I like all the six new designs, particularly Lustrous Neptune and Nebula Gelatinous. Street date is July 16th, so they should be in stores next week. (Post 1 of 2)

If you like unique dice with intricate designs, the new Botch Dice Kickstarter may pique your interest. The prints are detailed and durable and the bespoke font is a fun little detail, though I will say readability is not always ideal.

Heads up about Dice Nest. They carry some cool exclusive dice but are super shady
- The dice are wonky with 2mm differences
- They deleted my 2-star review, hence their review rating cannot be trusted
- They send unsolicited promotional email which is illegal
- They make false claims on Reddit

My latest "splurge on handmade dice" set from the wonderful
@diceshard.bsky.social. This one's called "What a horrible night to have a curse", though I'm not sure I agree. These don't look very cursed and will (hopefully) be perfect for my Firbolg Circle of the Stars druid. #dice #handmade #resin

New set from Libris Arcana. Cost an arm and a leg to be delivered to Germany, but it's cute. Not a huge fan of the tiny d4 in comparison to the other dice, though. (The set is called Dots, in case you're wondering.) #dice #polyset

Having fun with some of my DHD sets for this week's Dice Discord photo prompt of "Opposites".

Several polysets of roleplaying dice in dark and light colours, juxtaposed next to each other with a clear divide between the dark and the light sets to depict a theme of "opposites".
